Dynaudio Xeo 20 vs KEF LS50 Wireless

Anybody? I'm interested in this also as a Sonos 5 I bought recently changed my thoughts on what I want for musical playback. In a word, simplicity. 

This was confirmed when I checked out a pair of Totems on a Craigslist ad that were local and cheap. I heard something I didn't like, started thinking that I could adjust cables, etc to get the sound I wanted and realized what I really want is something I enjoy that just sounds great and that I don't have to muck around with.

Unfortunately, the Sonos 5 does not have the resolution level I am after so I'm looking to move somewhere upstream.

The KEF LS50 wireless are an exceptional value and super easy to set up. I have a pair and do a superb job in checking all the boxes we all seem to seek. They are not my main speaker system but this is the future of audio. They are cheap enough that the risk is minimal and with amazon, the 30 day no hassle return option is reassuring. You will know within the first day whether they are for you.

i use them for casual background listening but they are better than that. They are pretty smooth across the freq spectrum and are just a whole lot of fun. While I tested all the input functionality, mine are fed from a macbook using roon and an uptone regen for the usb input. For some of us old enough to realize whats packed into these two dimuitive boxes, they leave me gobsmacked. Other high end options are in the queue...2019 is going to be fun with new product introductions. Makes me feel kind of foolish that I have power cables in one system that exceed the cost of the little Kefs.

Ive not heard the Dynaudios but have owned some others in their line in the past. They make fine speakers and Im sure they are terrific too. 

I'm quite curious about those. In your setup it sounds like you have things hard wired and wireless, is that correct? 

Six months ago, I wanted to stream in the living room and picked up a Bluesound. It would not reliably stream anywhere except in the same room as my router. In frustration, I tried a Sonos Connect which easily paired from one end of the house to the other, zero drops.

If KEF has reliable connectivity down, it is probably the top contender for me. 

Mine streams fine using the Kef's as a Roon end point. With that said, I like the sound achieved through the usb and I had a Macbook available. It all depends on your wifi setup and your router. No issues here.

Thank you, that is good to know. Having it just work is an important part of getting it right.
